Nigerian singer, King Bernard, took to his Instagram page to narrate how he tried helping a follower but got scammed.

He said that the fan only asked him for N40k to pay up school fees but he made a wrong transfer by sending him N450k.

The follower ended up blocking him and scamming him off the money.

Sharing Screenshots from their conversation, he wrote;

This is so sad! honestly, a fan sent me DMs asking for help with some cash (u all know i often do giveaways on dis page, but asides that, i also get a lot of such DMs)

I decided to help him because he’s a student and his university admission was at risk.

but see what I got (swipe left to see conversations). He begged for me 45k, I mistakenly sent it with an extra zero, I sent N450k��‍♂ He blocked me afterwards.. like seriously! whatdf!�

some people will be like N450k seem like small money for an artiste.. but I’m not earning so much yet, like I’m not yet big like dem Starboy, Davido��‍♂ I’m just sure someone out here knows him and can help reach him. his IG is @jamesogar1 �

If i even give dat extra 400k to other fans here like 10k each, that’s some smile on plenty faces 40 people, instead on just one selfish ingrate!�
i’ll really feel much better�

Those social media beggars don't have a trace of decency in their DNA, that's why I hardly give money to anyone I don't know, unless the sick.

Now he has refused to refund the guy the excess knowing fully well that the guy was only being nice. Humans sha...

Technically, he wasn't scammed. He only shot himself in the foot.
